Cynopsis: International
12/14/07

Good morning.  It's Friday, December 14, 2007, and this is your first early morning International & Multicultural briefing. 

INTERNATIONAL MARKET:

Turkey's SARAN Media is expanding its current distribution pact and 10-year relationship with Warner Bros. International Television Distribution (WBITD). The new multi-year, TV distribution agreement covers the Turkish premium, basic, free and SVOD rights to WBITD programming, including current and library feature films, TV series, and animation titles from Warner Bros. Entertainment.

Australia's Seven Network and Granada International inked a long-term exclusive deal to deliver the latter's TV programs to Seven.  It covers shows such as Prime Suspect, A Touch of Frost, and Life Begins, to name a few.
        
FremantleMedia Enterprises is in a first look deal with production company TXTV.

National Geographic Television International (NGTI) took off for Asia with its latest deals.
  • China's CCTV took several 52-minute shows, including Ultimate Viper, Secret Jesus, The World's Most Dangerous Drug, and Human Voltage: Struck by Lightning.  Two NGTI indie producers, the U.K.-based Touch Productions and the U.S.' Towers Productions, sold their respective 52-minute Human Footprint and 10-episode, 48-minute When Weather Changed History.
  • Hong Kong's ATV grabbed two series for its digital channel: Catastrophe (4x52) and Snake Wranglers (26x26).
  • In Korea, Q Channel has Compass Films' Red Velvet, Abyss Productions' Vanishing Dragon, and NGT's Bad Boy Monkeys of India.
  • Other sales were made to Korea's KBS, Singapore's Mediacorp TV12, Vietnam's HTV, and the Philippines' GMA, according to C21.

The first feed across Central Europe has launched for Chellomedia and HIT Entertainment's new preschool channel, JimJam. The launch will add 1.4 million subscribers.

Chuck is going British following Virgin 1's acquisition of the 22-episode series for U.K. audiences.  The 60-minute NBC show was picked up from Warner Bros International Television Distribution for either a Spring or Summer 2008 debut.

The Singing Bee has a few new tunes to carry following new format deals by the U.K.'s Zeal Entertainment.  Here's the scoop … Germany's ProSieben and the Netherland's RTL4 have ordered localized versions while TV3 commissioned Mastiff TV for Denmark and Nordisk for Norway. Nordisk was also asked to produce for Finland's MTV3 for a 2008 debut.  Other versions will emerge on the Middle East's Dubai TV, Israel's Reshet TV, and Hungary's TV2 with Promofilms producing a version for Chile's Canal 13, per C21.

Let the games begin!  ESPN International will conclude its coverage of the 2007 college football season as part of ESPN's multi-network and multi-platform coverage of over 400 games. ESPN International will bring coverage of multiple bowl games on ESPN networks to 176 million households across 187 countries and territories highlighted by the Rose Bowl Game throughout Asia, Canada, Europe, Latin America, the Caribbean, Africa, the Middle East, Israel, Australia, and New Zealand. NASN will televise 30 bowl games across Europe, including the BCS Championship Game, Rose Bowl, and Sugar Bowl, to name a few.  The other networks include ABC, ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, ESPN Radio, ESPN Classic, ESPN360.com, ESPN Regional Television, ESPN Mobile TV, ESPN360.com, and ESPN GamePlan. Coverage kick offs with the San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl on December 20 at 9p on ESPN.

CROSS-MARKET:

On December 15 at 8p, The Gospel Music Channel will bring in a dose of Christian/gospel music in the new weekly primetime series The Kitchen Sink. The 60-minute music performance, news, entertainment, and variety program will also bring in live in-studio performances, interviews, and more.

HISPANIC MARKET:

Univision will air a 30-minute special, Los Retos de la Adolescencia… Enterate (The Challenges of Adolescence… Get the Facts!), on December 15 (check local listings).  Hosted by Univision's Giselle Blondet, it will talk about the challenges parents and guardians face in raising teenagers.

EXECUTIVE MOVES:

Raymund Miranda, Global Networks' Managing Director Asia, has been confirmed as leader of the integrated Global Networks operations in Asia, following NBC Universal's acquisition of Sparrowhawk Media in October.  He will be in charge of the network's launch of commercial operations in Asia and NBC Universal's regional channels relationships.  In another bit of exec news, Andrew Hanna, Sparrowhawk Media's Managing Director in Asia Pacific, will leave the company at the end of January.




Friday Fun Fact: The spice Nutmeg is featured on the National flag of Grenada symbolizing its reputation as "The Isle of Spices".

Answer to Yesterday's Trivia Question:  In the 1992 thriller Single White Female, what expensive gift does Hedy (Jennifer Jason Leigh) present to Allie (Bridget Fonda) when she first moves in with her? A PUPPY Kudos to: Uh oh ... nobody got this one.  Let's try another ...

Today's Trivia Question: What is Emeril Lagasse's mother's first name?    ( with your answer and be sure to include your name, company, city and time zone. Unofficial rules: Only the second four correct answers from each time zone will be mentioned; and once you've been mentioned in any of the Cynopsis editions, you can't be mentioned again that calendar week.)
